December 19, 2011 Points.com Introduces Loyalty Points Transfer and Gift Registry to JetBlue's TrueBlue Members JetBlue's TrueBlue Members Benefit From New Ways to Engage With Their Points and to Create Wish Lists TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Points International Ltd. (Nasdaq:PCOM) (TSX:PTS), owner and operator of the world's leading loyalty reward program management platform, www.Points.com, has expanded its partnership with JetBlue Airways' customer loyalty program, TrueBlue. In addition to trading, buying, and gifting points, customers now have two more ways to benefit from their TrueBlue membership: the ability to transfer points and create gift registries to receive points for that special event. "JetBlue's reputation precedes itself for a reason: the airline provides top-notch service for their customers, from the on-board seatback TVs to the points that do not expire," said Rob MacLean, CEO of Points.com. "Points.com is pleased to help JetBlue improve upon those offerings for the members of the airline's esteemed TrueBlue program." "The ability to easily transfer points is an enhancement that our TrueBlue members have been asking for, and we're pleased to have an answer with the help of Points.com," JetBlue's Director of Loyalty Marketing Dave Canty said. "Bringing our customers new and innovative ways to interact with their points, including a fun gift registry option, is just another example of how we aim to deliver the best possible customer experience." With the Transfer add-on, TrueBlue members can help friends and family members reach their reward goals faster by seamlessly transferring points between one another. The airline's loyalty program members can now also create a TrueBlue Gift Registry and receive TrueBlue points as a gift for a honeymoon, a graduation, a vacation or any occasion. How it works: 1. TrueBlue members log onto www.TrueBlueGiftRegistry.com to create a gift registry for points and highlight their specific goal 2. Via social media platforms including Facebook, members can share their registry with friends and family inviting them to contribute points to reach the goal 3. Members can track their progress against their goal via a graph on the registry Anyone, members and non-TrueBlue members alike, can gift points to the registry using the incredibly flexible gift registry platform. Members can also transfer points from their TrueBlue account directly into a gift registry. About Points International Ltd. Points International Ltd.
